Ginger Shots on Trial: The Sugar Truth

Ginger shots are the health trend of 2026. But not all of them live up to the marketing promises. We checked the labels.

The Sugar Comparison

Product	Sugar / 100ml	2nd Ingredient
Gimber N°1 Original	34g	Cane Sugar
Gimber N°2 Brut	~17g	Cane Sugar
Coca-Cola	10.6g	—
INTI	0g added	Turmeric

The Results

Gimber N°1 Original contains more than 3 times as much sugar as Coca-Cola. Even the "lighter" version N°2 Brut still has 60% more sugar than Cola. Cane sugar is the second ingredient after ginger in both versions.

Why Sugar-Free is Important

The main reason for ginger shots: the anti-inflammatory effect. Sugar activates ginger-sugar-explanation-2026">NF-κB — the same inflammatory pathway that ginger is supposed to inhibit. Sugar and ginger work against each other.
